1 Gallon Planted Bowl

Housing a breeding pair of regular red cherry shrimp. This is the reason so many young are seen in the video. when they get to be about this size, I move them to my 40 gallon planted tank. These guys will be moved within the week,

This bowl looks really familiar. Are you Newman on TPT?

@Aegis877:

Yes thats me . this is what my shrimp bowl used to look like back when it had cherry shrimp. this is roughly 6 months after i started it.

Hi I was just wondering what type of lamp you have over the top. I have a shrimp bowl atm and I'm not getting any growth dew to the lack of sunlight at its winter. Is it a general lamp or one for nano aquariums?

@Teivelx:

This is just a regular desk lamp. any desk lamp should do. I use a 13W daylight (5000K) CFL bulb for lighting the bowl.

What kind of fish are those?

I can certainly say that they need more then a 1 gallon bowl. And you dont even have a filter. How do you have the beneficial bacteria to support all of those fish in there.

I hate to be the one to point it out, but that one gallon thing, is WAY overstocked. I think you know that also.

@tittleingoni :

Please read the description of this video. i think i described what is in this bowl and how the babies get transferred to a 40 gallon once they grow to this size.

i have a 2.5 gal aquarium in this same manner, and i habe fish and shrimp that do just fine in it, although it is a little small. I love this video!!!

@tittleingoni Shrimp produce almost no load on an aquarium. You can have lots. But it is hard to tell in this vid if those are guppies swimming laps or shrimp... As a grow out tank this is ok.
